Method Detail

getLogger

@Nullable
public static Logger getLogger(@Nullable
                                        String name)

Produces a new Logger.

Parameters:

name - The name of the logger to get. May not be null.

Returns:

A new Logger or null if the logging service is being loaded. null is produced at most once.

Throws:

ServiceConfigurationException - Iff no FactoryInterface can be instanciated.

To Do:

• This method is designed to produce null only in the case that a logging service is not yet loaded. Is there some way to reliably detect such a situation programmatically? Furthermore, can/should a check be put into place to ensure that null is produced at most once, e.g with an AtomicBoolean?
